The cost of the war certainly is not being borne by those at the top of society.They have been deep in the trough for many years with tax changes and exemptions,huge pay increases every year for the past two decades and all kinds of share bonuses and dividends.
The cost of the war is being borne by the workers and those at the margins.Our hospitals are underfunded,our schools in need of repair .We have a lousy public transport system and many are caught up in poor housing or cannot even get on to the housing ladder.
Iraq has been devastated but here in Britain and across the ocean in America we we will be paying the economic cost of the war for many years ahead.
